If you’re coming to Disney World with a big group, this post is for YOU.
All-Star Music Awaits
The family suites at the All-Star Resorts are much bigger than the standard rooms at this hotel, which means more room for everyone in the hotel room. Whether you’re coming with a bigger group or just want more space to spread out, check out our full tour here to see if this hotel is right for your group!
So, we typically enjoy a stay in a Disney World hotel, but this one was extra shocking for us. We stayed in one of the family suites and it was HUGE. We’re talking a living room with two murphy beds, two full bathrooms, a kitchen space, AND a master bedroom. Spoiler alert: With its newer furnishings, cleaner design, and layout, we actually liked these more than the more EXPENSIVE suites at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort!
HELLO All-Star Music
These rooms range from around $300 per night to around $580 per night, depending on when you’re visiting. Over at Art of Animation, the going rate is around $430 to around $830. Um…these are so much cheaper!
Living Room
Walking into the room, you’ll see the new living room with 2 Murphy Beds that fold down on top of the couch and table. When folded down, these beds can sleep 2 people comfortably on each.
Two beds!
On each side of the second murphy bed, there are shelves for storage. The table also sits 4 people when the Murphy Bed is folded up. The room is spacious with these beds folded away, but heads up that when they fold down it can get a little cramped.
Lots of storage!
Also, the couch sits a few people comfortably.
Roomy!
This room also features a TV and dresser. The dresser has three drawers and a large cabinet to store your belongings. You’ll also find spare pillows for the Murphy Beds in the cabinets (blankets should already be on the beds).

And the TV has its own remote that has been sanitized.
All the essentials are here
There are also hooks for your bags, coats, and ponchos.
Just in case!
Here’s what the Murphy Beds look like pulled down. Check out the fun art!

Bedroom
In the bedroom, you’ll find a TV and dresser (the same setup as the living room) with plenty of plugs, and there’s a full-length mirror behind the door.

You’ll also find a safe and some extra pillows in the cabinet.
The Safe
There’s a queen-sized bed with side table space on either side.
Comfy!
You’ll find this fun Mickey and pals artwork above the bed, along with a couple of lights for reading.
Mickey and the gang!
And there’s plenty of storage underneath the bed for your suitcases and bags — just don’t forget to double-check under here before you leave!
Storage Space
The room also features a chair with an ottoman for watching TV or enjoying the view outside the window.
The chair
As for lighting, this room has bedside lighting, plus a standing lamp by the chair.
Bedroom
This space is small but doesn’t feel too cramped.

Kitchen
In the kitchen, you’ll find plenty of room in the fridge, so you can store all your leftovers or brought-from-home snacks here. In fact, this is one of the larger fridges available in a Disney World hotel room. The ones in the family suites at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort are mini-fridges.
Plenty of room for leftovers and snacks!
The kitchen also features a microwave, a sink for washing dishware…

The other half of the bathroom has a toilet and shower with a tub. The toilet and shower are separated from the vanity area with a sliding, locking door.

Fun Details
This room has a few fun details including these music posters with Mickey and friends.
Posters!
There were five in total, all featuring different characters and music genres!
They’re fun!
There’s also a pattern on the chairs, which references the All-Star Music, Sports, and Movies Resorts.
An Easter egg!

What is the transportation from this resort.
Kim, All-Star Music only offers Disney buses for transportation.
Was the room quiet?
Kathleen, I believe most if not all of the suites at Music are on the pool-side of a building, so during the day, you can hear the music from outside. When we visited this time, there were VERY few people staying at the Resort, and it was oddly quiet in terms of people-related noises (like screaming at the pool, for example). When I stayed in the suites myself many years ago, I recall it being a bit louder than other stays I’ve had when I’ve been further away from the action. Does that help?
Thank you Sarah. We are going in January so hopefully not as many people would be using the pool during the day.
Kathleen, I would guess you’d be right on that point. If you’re concerned about daytime noise (like I would be when I had a kiddo who needed to nap), you could try bringing a noise machine or using an app on a mobile device to play a white noise or rain sounds to try to neutralize it.
Do you know the height of the Murphy beds?
Diane, I don’t know that height right off (and can’t find it online from another reputable source). When folded down, the mattress is just about the same height as the side table. Side tables tend to be 23-25″ tall, so that’s the range in which you’ll find the top of the mattress, I think. If I can find a more specific answer, I’ll update here!
Where are the family suites located on what floors in what buildings?
Hi Alex,
Thanks so much for reaching out! The Family Suites at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort are located in the Calypso and Jazz buildings.
It’s about time they made some affordable family suites, hallelujah!
The bottles of shampoo are huge! I’m assuming they change them after every guest leaves; when you check in, are those bottles sealed and closed?
Do you take them home when you leave or are they just thrown away?
I’d rather have Magic Express back than take the shampoo home! 😄
Jan, the bottles in the shower are intended to be used over the course of multiple guests. It’s a way to reduce waste.
We just stayed in a Family Suite in the Jazz section. We were on the back end of the building. The only noise I ever heard ( and it was VERY muffled) was a Murphy bed being put back up in the morning. I would definitely stay in an All Star Music family suite again!
I support reducing waste, but using a bottle of soap that someone you don’t know has access to?!
NO. WAY. 🤢🤢
We are planning to go to Disney world next year and we were looking into the packages but they are only doing hotels only. I heard you can get discounts sometimes where can I find them. Also have you heard anything about the dining plan yet
Also, keep in mind…..The 2 Murphy beds in the All star music suite are both Queen! Where as the 2 extra beds at Art Of Animation are only double. We have 3 tall teenagers, so that was a big deciding factor for us this trip. We love AOA, but Music was way cheaper as well.
Jan,
We stayed at Port Orleans resort-Riverside a few weeks ago. They also have those large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Granted, I’m not much of a germaphobe, but I am fussy about cleanliness. I was VERY impressed with the overall cleanliness of our room and the bottles were like new…so clean and pristine. Disney Housekeeping cleans and sanitizes everything. I even looked at the little “window” on the bottles to see how full they were….all we’re at about the half way point….so not brand new. Hope this helps ease your mind a little.
